Kate Gosselin's Ridiculous Kentucky Derby Hat (PHOTOS)

The laws of fashion always seem to bend a bit -- or flat out go back in time -- on the day of the Kentucky Derby, but Kate Gosselin's Derby Day get-up would be criminal in any era. Or on any planet.

In an amazing feat, the reality show mom somehow outdid the horses -- who sported little men in funny costumes -- for craziest topper of the day. Her hat, reminiscent of a horse's nose and whiskers, perhaps shaded her from the sun. But, as was probably planned, did nothing to hide her from the media.

On Derby Day, Animal Kingdom won the race, but Kate Gosselin seized the photo finish.
